At first I thought this was funny...(No I didn't)
then I realized the awful truth of it.

Tax his land,
Tax his bed,
Tax the table
At which he's fed.

Tax his tractor,
Tax his mule,
Teach him taxes
Are the rule.

Tax his cow,
Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.

Tax his ties,
Tax his shirt,
Tax his work,
Tax his dirt.

Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he
Tries to think.

Tax his cigars,
Tax his beers,
If he cries, then
Tax his tears.

Tax his car,
Tax his gas,
Find other ways
To tax his ___.
Tax all he has
Then let him know
That you won't be done
Till he has no dough.

When he screams and hollers,
Then tax him some more,
Tax him till
He's good and sore.

Then tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in
Which he's laid.

Put these words
upon his tomb,
"Taxes drove me
to my doom..."

When he's gone,
Do n ot relax,
Its time to apply
The inheritance tax.

Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago,and our nation was the most prosperous in the world.
We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.

And now in this great country of mine I have to "press 1" for English!

What happened?

Switch...don't make me beat you in front of the whole flippin group. Good god. Tax HIS what??? Well guess what? I'd be rollin in it if HER stuff wasn't taxed too. And GET OVER the betty frikkin crocker good old days. They weren't rosy for everyone.

Mom stayed home to raise the kids.

And now in this great country of mine I have to "press 1" for English!

Please...sexism and zenophobia too.

This isn't a gender statement, it's a tax statement. Like it or not, you fall into the category of "mankind." And this statement >> Mom stayed home to raise the kids. Believe it or not, there are alot of women who really want to do just that, but can't because they have to work and just maybe it's because we're being taxed at every turn.

Switchie...luv...it's 200freakin7. Mankind doesn't include women anymore. People who mean humanity say so. And people who write statements like this...I'd lay a hard earned well taxed $20 bill down that they are wishing women would stay home and all the forners too.

I understood that this was basically about taxation...but don't fool yourself. That's not all it's about.

I've made it clear too many times that I have no problem with women who desire to stay at home. I don't think they're less than a career woman, and conversely, it's rather tiresome to defend my desire to be a career woman. I'm not the one saying women must be either or.

Well Jen, how do you feel about taxes?

Well...considering we dumped tea in a harbour for being taxed less than 2% of our wages, I'd say we've sort of veered from the vision. BUT having said that, If me paying taxes ensures that someone who...say...has been devastated by a hurricane or tornado can get food and aid, then I'll pay them. Or even someone who lives in a state that is suffering economically more than another. Or in need of Social Security. Or health assistance...

Is the system perfect? HELL no. Is there waste? good grief yes. Let me manage the distribution of the taxes as carefully as I manage what they leave me with...they'd see some thrift and efficiency for sure.

I'm all for helping others. The gripe is about taxing people so much. We all know that most of it is wasted on $500 toilet seats for congress and grants to study the sex life of a pis_ant.
